This is for anyone who plans on cosplaying from Sweeney Todd.
This particular costume breakdown is for the Demon Barber himself.

I have been cosplaying Sweeney Todd for 3 years now, and have put in a great deal of time researching and looking at pictures of the Sweeney Todd costume. So I thought I would share a bit of what I know.

First we will start out with general items, before I get into smaller details. As you will see in the picture next to this paragraph, you will notice some key items that Sweeney Todd has. If you are going to put together a Sweeney Todd costume, you should at least...

It's to the tune of what Depp sings in Johanna(Reprise), and Anthony is not in it. Or the crazy beggar woman. Hope you enjoy it xx


Yes, you are beautiful and pale,
with yellow hair,
like her.
I wanted you beautiful and pale,
with yellow hair,
and you were
Johanna

And you are beautiful, what then,
with yellow hair,
like wheat.
And we have met again,
My little dove,
My sweet,
Johanna

Hello, Johanna!
You're here, and again your mine!
I'm fine, Johanna!
I'm fine!

And now I shall hear your voice,
my turtle dove,
my dear,
I still have reason to rejoice,
The way ahead is clear
Johanna

I was in darkness,
I was blind, with...

This is probably going to be the shortest article ever but hey if its concerning Johnny im sure that'll make up for the space!
So i've started considering Sweeney Todd/Johnny Depp slang such as OMJ (Oh my Johnny) and Who gives a todd and Deppinately and so on......But i was wondering if it would be popular? what do ye think?
I am Obsessed with Johnny so i decided to do this I would have put this in a pick but i think this is a lot more personal.

Thx... Aine/Jokerrocks

p.s if you have other ideas for depp slang post 'em

Sweeney Todd is a villain appearing in various English language works starting in the mid-19th century as a barber and an early example of a serial killer. His weapon is a straight razor (or cut-throat razor in British English), with which he slits his victims' throats. In some versions of the story Mrs. Lovett, who is his partner in crime and variously his friend or lover (and whose first name is variously Marjorie, Sarah, Nellie, Shirley or Claudette) hides the crimes by butchering the corpses of Todd's victims, baking their flesh into meat pies, and selling them to unknowing customers. He...

The Twelve Days of Toddmas
On the first day of Toddmas a barber gave to me a person cooked in a meat pie.

On the second day of Toddmas a barber gave to me two bloody razors, and a person cooked in a meat pie.

On the third day of Toddmas a barber gave to me three selfish liars, two bloody razors, and a person cooked in a meat pie.

On the fourth day of Toddmas a barber gave to me four broken hearts, three selfish liars, two bloody razors, and a person cooked in a meat pie.

On the fifth day of Toddmas a barber gave to me FIVE SONGS TO SING, four broken hearts, three selfish liars, two bloody razors,...

Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around.

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send 'em howling,
I don't care, I got ways.

No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there.

Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

Not to worry, not to worry
I may not be smart but I ain't dumb
I can do it, put me to it
Show me something I can overcome
Not to worry, Mum

Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true
I don't need to,
I would never hide a thing from you,
Like some...

No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there!
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

Well,it was around Christmas before the DVD came out and I was watcing Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix with my family,and we were on the part when Harry and the rest of the people go in the misistry. Then we got on the part when Bellatrix comes out. So I ask my mom "Hey mom,who is that?" She told me that it was Bellatrix Lestrange. (I know this doesn't sound like Sweeney Todd yet,but it will get there,trust me!) So I said "Cool,who plays her?" So my mom told me, "I'm not sure,go look it up on the imdb." So I did,I saw that she was played by Helena Bonham Carter. (This is when the...

This is the official Sweeney Todd prayer, yeah I was really bored.


Our father who art in Fleet street,
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy revenge will come,
on earth as it is in London,
give us our daily shavings,
and forgive us our appetite,
as we forgive those who has a bigger appetite,
Save us from Judge Turpin,
and deliver us from all meat pies,
For Sweeney Todd, Mrs Lovett, Tobias now and forever

Amen

You've stolen whatever I've ever been.
You're the King of crime and I'll never be your Queen.
Now it's too late again.
Trust is never to regain.
I conceed, my love is still there.
About revenge only I too came to care.
"We all deserve to die?", don't we?
So why would feelings change so suddenly?
Even you, even I.
Then, I suspect another lie.
Come and hurt me, my dear.
There's no one to protect me here.
I'm not afraid of you anymore.
What are you waiting for?
There's nothing for me in life.
'Cause of me, you've killed her, since I'll never be your wife.

Why!
Why is everything a lie?
And we can't leave it for...

I was in the Random spot and was asked to write a random story. "Have a Little Priest" was playing on my iPod, so I decided to base it off the movie.




There was a barber and his wife, and she was beautiful. She took her barber husband out for lunch every thursday into Nelly's meat pie shop. Little did they know, they weren't eating meat pies at all! They were really eating rotten cherry pie. You see, Nelly Lovette had a difficult time obtaining meat for her pies, so she secretly started gathering cherries. Once she ran out of her entire supply of meat, she turned to the cherries. She noticed...

So,now I start my story about Sweeney Todd.

In February 2007 my class went to the cinema.We watched a Bully Herbig movie....Before the movie starts,the trailer of Sweeney Todd appears.I was so falle in love with Sweeney Todd there :P
My enemy was so scared of the trailer.After watchin the Bully movie my enemy wanted to beat me up,then I ran behind a big poster of ST.He was scared again...
Few days later I forgot the name of my "love".Since July 2007!(That was the date,when the DVD was in Austria.)I saw the article in a video/DVD magacine and I remembered him!!!Then one week before my 15th b-day I watched ST!What a feeling to see my "skunkman" again!Then the obsession started!

Then I had a lot of styles....

As I promised, Claire, here it's my drawing. I looked at 2 photos of Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett and I adapted them to my drawing.
So awesome and exciting to draw Helena and Johnny :D

MRS. LOVETT:
A customer!
Wait! What's your rush? What's your hurry?
You gave me such a -- Fright, I thought you was a ghost!
Half a minute, can'tcher sit! Sit you down, sit!
All I meant is that I haven't seen a customer for weeks!

I had him!
His throat was there beneath my hand.
No, I had him!
His throat was there and now he'll never come again.
Mrs. Lovett: Easy now, hush love hush
I keep telling you, Whats your rush?
Todd: When? Why did I wait?
You told me to wait -
Now he'll never come again.
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it.
But not for long...

They all deserve to die.
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why.
Because in all of the whole human race
Mrs. Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two
There's the one staying...

Beggar Woman

Alms, alms for a miserable woman!
On a miserable chilly morning
Thank ya, sir thank ya

Antony (spoken)

Mam, could you tell me who’s house this is?

Beggar Woman (spoken)

That? That's the great Judge Turpin's house, that is.

Antony (spoken)

And the young lady who resides there?

Beggar Woman (spoken)

Oh her? That' Johanna, his pretty little ward...
Keeps her snug he does. All locked up.
So don't you go trespassin' there or it’s a good whipping for you
or any other young man with mischief on his mind!
(sung)
How would ya like a little muff dear
A little jig jig. A little bounce around the bush.
Wouldja like to push me parsley? It looks to me dear that you got plenty there to push.
Alms! Alms! For a desperate woman!

Johanna:
Green finch, and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it you sing?
How can you jubilate
sitting in cages
never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits
beckoning!
Beckoning!
Just beyond the bars...
How can you remain
staring at the rain
maddened by the stars?
How is it you sing
anything?
How is it you sing?
Green finch. and linnet bird,
nightingale, blackbird
How is it you sing?
Whence comes this melody
constantly floating?
Is it rejoicing or merely aloaming?
Are you discussing?
Or fussing?
Or simply dreaming?
Are you crowing?
Are you screaming?
Ringdove and robinet
is it for wages?
Singing to be sold?
Have you decided it's safer in cages
singing when you're told?
My cage has many rooms
damask and dark...
Nothing there sings,
not even my lark.
Larks never will, you know,
when they're captive.
Teach me to be more
adaptive.
Ah...
Green Finch, and Linnet Bird,
nightingale, blackbird,
teach me how to sing.
If I cannot fly...
Let me sing.
Wait! Don't you go, don't you hurry. I almost didn't see you come, can'tcha sit, sit you down SIT! All I meant is that the customers keep coming in, did you come here for a pie, sir? Do forgive me if this place is such a mess. But you can't imagine all the stress!
All the people crowding in, I just have no time, sir! And there's always someone wanting some more pies! Right you are sir, would you like the gin with some more ice?
Mind you I can hardly blame them. There are probably the best pies in London! I know why everybody loves them, I know it, I make them. And good? Yes! The best pies in...

Anthony brings Johanna to Sweeney’s to hide her while he goes to get them a coach.

Unable to locate Sweeney in his room, Toby offers to show them down to the Bakehouse, where he last saw Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett. They go down the stairs, just in time to see Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett preparing to dispose of the bodies of the beggar woman, Judge Turpin, and Beadle.

Trying to stop them from running to the law, Sweeney shoves Toby into a corner, where he crumples and doesn’t get up. Meanwhile, Mrs. Lovett has attacked the unsuspecting Anthony, and has her hands around his throat.

hey everybody!

I know there's already stories on here of how fans found out about sweeney todd, but i thought id like to share mine.

About seven months ago, like around June, i was looking up twilight parodies/spoofs and came across the hillywood show's twilight parody.(at the time, i didnt really know who they were.) i thought "wow, that was incredible!" so i went 2 their website and started watching their vids. and all of you who r a big fan of johnny depp, you'll love the show. so, i got 2 the sweeney todd episodes. i knew who sweeney todd was but i didnt really know the story. i just, you know, thought that he was killing people for no apparent reason:P i started to really like the music. that led me to buy the cd. which led me to buy the movie. which then led me 2 buy the movie companion book. when it came out 2 theaters and when i saw the trailers, i didnt pay much attention to it. now i do! oh ya and this was also how i am a big fan of johnny depp.

This whole obbsession started one cold winter night sometime in January, i had never heard of Sweeney Todd before or anything about it. i knew Johnny Depp was in a new film with Helena Bonham Carter directed by Tim Burton but i didn't know it was Sweeney Todd.
My friend had seen it and told me of its awsomness and as it had my favorite actor, actress and director in it...how could i miss it! So she leant me the DVD.
I got home at about 9:00pm on a saturday night and thought "oh i have Sweenney Todd, I might as well watch it!" so off i went. i sat down and started the DVD.

After it was finished...
